CNN’s Chris Cuomo FAWNS Over Paul Krugman: ‘I Need Him;’ He ‘Lifts Up My IQ’
NewsBusters ^ | 10/14/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Does CNN host Chris Cuomo know what satire is? He actually suggested that New York Times economist Paul Krugman — whose wild predictions of an economic boom are falling flat — makes him more intelligent.

Cuomo brought Krugman on the Oct. 13 edition of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time to put lipstick on a string of terrible economic news plaguing President Joe Biden’s agenda. Cuomo said that “there are a combination of economic indicators that are conspiring to create a slowdown.” Turning to Krugman, Cuomo said “[f]ew know the stakes better than economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.” Krugman first went after the worsening supply chain disruption issue and put a major spin on it: “It’s not actually the case that less stuff is getting through to people.” Krugman pointed to the heightened “consumption of consumer durables” to prove his point. But his spin is false. The University of Connecticut just reported that the supply chain bottleneck “seems to be caused by goods being stuck in transit, especially due to congestion at ports and other delivery challenges.” The Wall Street Journal also noted that “overwhelmed world-wide transportation networks limit supply—down to the home décor.” In other words, “less stuff is getting through to people.”

But as Cuomo hilariously said of Krugman to another guest later on in his show, “That guy’s smart huh?” Then came the kicker: “I need him. Lifts up my IQ.”

It’s a race to the ground between Cuomo’s IQ and his ass.

When Donald Trump won, Paul Krugman predicted it would cause the world to enter a recession so calamitous that civilization might never exit it.

Well yes, he probably moves Chris’s 22 iq up to to match Krugman’s 25 IQ.

Krugman has been full of crap for years.
Anyone who listens to him is dumber for it.

No matter how many times Krugman tries to multiply Cuomo's IQ, any factor times zero is still zero.

“I need him. Lifts up my IQ.”

The average 3rd grader could do that.
